wow! my scc was removed and doc said it looked like he got it all. doc excised and burnt (cuttuereg) it out. Also doc said that all the spots did not seem to be actinic keratosis as the fu5 is causing no reaction. the biop should be in in a week and i will know if the tumor was malignant. the anxiety (this link popped up auto not my advertisement) is down but i must continue the battle. Just thought i would say what happened. thanks for listening.

Great for you!!!! I am glad to hear someone is fighting back and not letting cancer get the best of them. Wish you all the best with the malignancy results and hopefully there has been no spread.

Bill.
I am 5 years free of squamous cell skin carcinoma. Removed from my anal-wall area and basically went through hell & Back.

A Brief summery...

1. Contracted cancer.
2. Went through 2 surgeries.
3. Chemo therapy
4. Massive Radiation Treatment.
5. Almost fried my insides out.
6. Became Sterile.
7. Almost died from massive treatment.
8. Couldn't work.
9. Almost lost my business.
10. Lost my house to foreclosure.
11. Wife left me / divorced.
12. Went through personal legal battles (false accusation)
13. Got a DUI
14. Got Shingles.
15. Got rare dissiness/fainting spells from stress.
16. Recovery painful for 4 years.
17. Met a new Girl.
18. Starting to get my strength back.
19. Slowly brought my Business back to somewhat stable.
20. Made that new girl my wife.
21. We just bought a new house.
22. Hoping one day my sterile-isity will go away, but in no hurry...
She's a school teacher and has 20 kids a day. we enjoy our quiet evenings.

23. Just Thanking God for a second chance... so far.
